z
UCI requires that the Maximum SPL with Slow time constant complies with NR-30 curve (L
max,slow<
NR30) – this includes any source of noise, including passage of trains or aircrafts
z
The Italian Law requires that the noise produced by steady-state equipment (HVAC) has an A-weighted equivalent level less than 35 dB(A) (L
A,eq< 35 dBA)
z
The UCI requirements are much more stringent
than the Italian Law
Vibration
Vibration limits limits
z UCI requires that continuous vibrations are less than the curve 1 of BS-6472 (1992)
z UCI requires also that the vibrations are less than the maximum allowed for building of category 5 in DIN-4150-2
z In practice, the Italian standard UNI-9614
was applied, which specifies a maximum
weighted acceleration level of 71 dB

Conclusions Conclusions
z
Almost all noise and vibrations specifications were fulfilled
z
The rubber support of horizontal structures was able to decouple vibrations above 5 Hz
z
The multilayer walls employing triple gypsum boards gave sound insulation much higher than expected
